Seeing that Su Qian liked the hot springs here, Yan Xuanye took Su Qian to stay in the southern suburbs for another four or five days before returning to Tongpan Mansion.
Not long after he returned to his own courtyard, Lu Feng arrived.
She didn't even enter the house, but stood in the corridor to report on the situation of the two girls of the Jiang family in the past few days. "Your Highness, the kneeling punishment of the two girls of the Jiang family has ended. Now the two girls are each copying Buddhist scriptures in their own rooms."
Yan Xuanye took a sip of his tea without looking up. "Have they done anything unusual in the past few days?"
Lu Feng: "A few days ago, the wife of the Tongpan tried to bribe my subordinates with silver to get the two girls to eat, but my subordinates refused. Miss Li seems to be very resentful about this..."
Yan Xuanye sneered and asked, "What about the other one? Doesn't she have any resentment?"
"Miss Wei seems calm, but... her calmness is unusual. I'm worried that the two of them will harbor some evil plans when they return."
Yan Xuanye said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work. Keep a close eye on them and don't give them a chance to harm the goddess. If you're short on manpower, you can send someone to Gebulu."
Ge Bulu is more mature and steady, and Yan Xuanye would entrust him with some more delicate matters.
Lu Feng: "Yes, I will take my leave first."
…
When Cuiwei came in with tea, she saw Su Qian sitting in front of the window with a book in her hands, but her eyes were not on the book, but looking out the window. Cuiwei walked closer and found that her eyes were a little confused and vague.
"Miss." Cuiwei called her back to her thoughts, "The tea is ready, please have some."
Su Qian retracted her gaze and said lightly, "Okay."
Cuiwei always felt that Su Qian had been a little erratic recently. She was often in a daze and spoke less and less. "What are you thinking about, girl? You are so obsessed."
For some reason, Su Qian felt a little dizzy in recent days. Sometimes when she woke up, she always felt as if she had forgotten something important.
She was just wondering what she had forgotten.
"These past few days, I've felt like I've forgotten something very important. I've been thinking about it, hoping to remember it."
"Does the girl remember?"
Su Qian shook her head: "No."
Cuiwei didn't know how to help her daughter get over the knot in her heart, so she could only change the subject, "Don't you like reading storybooks? How about I accompany you to the teahouse to listen to stories, just to relax."
Su Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then."
Cuiwei immediately asked someone to arrange a carriage for her trip, and the carriage helped her out of the Tongpan Mansion. When they were walking in the busy city, they suddenly heard a loud noise.
Su Qian opened her eyes from her doze and asked, "What happened? Why is there so much noise?"
Cuiwei seemed a little embarrassed, and her expression became unnatural. "Miss, this road is mostly lined with flower markets, so... it's a bit noisy."
Flower market? It turned out to be a brothel in ancient times.
Su Qian pricked up her ears and listened to the sweet calls to attract customers around her. Somehow, among these sweet calls, she actually heard a few familiar voices.
"Sir, come in and sit down~" The woman's hands were as soft as a catkin, holding a handkerchief with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and she walked towards the man with her slender waist twisting...
She placed her hands on the man like a willow swaying in the wind, and carefully traced the lines of muscle on his body through a handkerchief. As her movements rose and fell, the subtle fragrance of Luo Xiu and the handkerchief floated in the air, penetrating straight into his pores.
"The sisters have just rehearsed a dance recently. Why don't you come and take a look..."
Yan Xuanye suppressed his anger and took a step back, looking at Ma Qi beside him, "Did you find it?"
March came out of the flower market panting, "No, I don't know if he ran away or hid."
Yan Xuanye asked again: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
It took Machi a while to calm down. "Gebru saw it himself and chased after him right then and there. I don't know how he's doing now."
Cuiwei heard the sound, pulled aside the curtain and took a look outside, then turned to Su Qian nervously and said, "Miss, it's His Highness."
Yan Xuanye immediately ordered, "Shut down! All flower markets are closed! Ma Qi, take your men to seal off Zhiyi City first. Fu Ge, take your men to search restaurants, teahouses, and other shops. Be careful, don't let any suspicious people go!"
"yes."
"yes!"
After saying this, Yan Xuanye stepped into the flower market. The women along the way gradually became excited when they saw him. Although they didn't know who he was, seeing that he was well dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor, they all wanted to come and win over this new customer.
Before a woman could get close to him, she saw him looking at her fiercely. The expression that seemed like he wanted to strangle her to death forced the brave woman to retreat.
His tone was also very firm, and he would not tolerate being ignored. "Call out the person in charge!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, someone immediately went to call the housekeeper of Yanchunlou.
The housekeeper was wearing a gaudy red dress and holding a round fan in her hand. She walked downstairs with her slender waist twisting. At first glance, she saw a group of tall and strong men standing in the hall. She thought they were a group of new guests looking for pleasure.
She trotted over cheerfully, a flattering smile on her face. "Gentlemen, would you like to have a drink and listen to music? Or would you like to stay the night?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards behind Yan Xuanye immediately drew their swords and pointed them at her.
The housekeeper and the beauties present were immediately horrified. The housekeeper's voice trembled as she spoke, "Master! If you have something to say, just talk it out. Why resort to knives and guns?"
The housekeeper didn't know what had happened. The person who came to call her was hesitant and couldn't explain clearly. The guard drew his sword on the spot, making her even more confused.
The housekeeper looked at the guard who pointed his sword at her, but the guard did not explain. The housekeeper then turned her gaze to the leader of the group of men - Yan Xuanye.
Yan Xuanye stood upright at the front of the team, his black eyes like a cold pond, deep and cold, giving people an extreme sense of oppression.
"My subordinates accidentally encountered General Lu Huan, the former leader of Zhiyi City, and his subordinates. During the fight, Lu Huan and his subordinates accidentally escaped. Now... I suspect that Lu Huan and his subordinates are hiding here..."
"Until we find the person, we will have to suspend business for a while. Tell all your girls to come down to the hall. I will send someone to search for him."
After hearing this, the housekeeper finally understood who he was. "Your Highness, Prince Yan, could you be mistaken? The girls of our Huangchun Tower would never do such a thing as harboring thieves!"
The girls next to them also echoed, "Yeah, we don't dare."
Yan Xuanye looked at them coldly, "Whether it's true or not, I'll have someone search and they'll know! And it's not just your family, all the flower markets on this street will have to close down!"
"Ye Yang, take some people to clear out the guests!"
The subordinate next to Yan Xuanye bowed and said, "I obey your command."
"You guys! Follow me!"
